UEFA President denies August deadline for completion of Champions League 2019-20 (Image Creedits: UEFA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nIn a statement issued last week by UEFA, the board postponed more matches and deadlines without giving any indication on when European soccer might be able to resume. <\/p>\n\n\n
The governing body kept itself away from giving a definitive timeframe on when the European Leagues might resume as completing the tournament remains a challenge for the authorities due to the Coronavirus outbreak. <\/p>\n\n\n
UEFA\u2019s executive committee also postponed the national team matches that had already been postponed to June, including the European Championship play-off qualifiers to complete the 24-team lineup. <\/p>\n\n\n
The deadlines to all the UEFA matches and competitions are postponed indefinitely until further notice by the board and the football matches will be played as and when the situation gets better. <\/p>\n\n\n
The board is figuring out its way through the calendar solutions to complete all the competitions and most likely the options are favourable for the matches to be held around July and August, depending on the permission of national authorities and restart dates. In the press release, UEFA mentioned, \u201cA joint management of calendars is required as the conclusion of the ongoing season has to be coordinated with the beginning of the new one, which will also be impacted because of the overstretch of the current season.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\nUEFA President Threatens With Ban<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nUEFA President, Aleksander Ceferin was quite serious when he talked about the league suspension. He firmly stated that the leagues that end early without permission due to the Coronavirus pandemic could face a European competitions ban next season. <\/p>\n\n\n
Belgium became the first European top-tier league to cancel the rest of the season, and this decision was made before UEFA, the European Club Association and the European Leagues\u2019 umbrella group sent a joint letter to their members. <\/p>\n\n\n![\"UEFA](\"https:\/\/londonglossy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Aleksander-Ceferin-UEFA-2019.jpg\")

Ceferin continued as he said that the leagues are suspended until further notice and it will not be an acceptable decision to cancel the ongoing season without concerning UEFA. <\/p>\n\n\n
Talking about the \u20ac600 million money reserve, he said, \u201cWe will use them if any case of financial need arises, but I don\u2019t think that we are in danger of being financially weak or something like a financial crisis.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\nAfter the UEFA released an open letter for the European leagues and clubs, it is quite clear that all the international and domestic leagues have postponed indefinitely and will be resumed as soon as the situations are better. For the time, UEFA has enough funds to support all the clubs and UEFA President further added that the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules could be postponed to further aid clubs against the growing economic concerns. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
